View Full Version : EW Car Club & Racing Mondays
We need to be getting a car and design for the club, let's get some designs and cars put forward. Maybe it's a little predictable but what about Mitsubishi Lancer Evos? :)
Is everyone up for racing tomorrow, the 23rd? I'll be on from shortly after 8 again.

I'll be there too :)
maybe i will or maybe i won't..;)
I'm just waiting for Mart to actually get me some logo's etc, then I'll be cracking ahead with an Evo-Web car. ;)
I'm all for using an Evo VIII, probably the car I would have put it on anyway, so I'll get going on that whenever Mart gets the finger out. :mrgreen:
Oh, and I should be there tomorrow evening, hopefully.
I should be on tonight unless something happens to me during the course of the day
And am I hosting again or does someone with half a clue want a go?
I should be there too, does that mean I should have an upgraded Lancer Evo until tonight? What classes do you want to race in anyway? I only have a decent D1 Peugeot, anything else I'd have to buy and upgrade to stand a chance. ;)
I'm like Ike,(if I make it tonight) I have little cars that have been upgraded etc. Currently have a limited selection of duffers really, and not alot of credits to do anything to them with, doubt I'd have the 28,000 to even buy an Evo. But hope to see ya on Live later anyhow
Oh yeah how many people can be racing on Live anyhow, seeing we have 8 replies here now? And I will be on Live tonight, tis official. ;)

Last week Chris changed the car class after every race, so starting in D and working up to R, it worked really well as we god to try out different cars. Don't worry about not having a modded car, I picked stock cars last week and it was a great laugh. I'm sure I will be giving my Supercharged Mini Cooper a run out tonight when we race in the A Class.

8 players maximum afaik. I'm not sure if there's a donation system so I could borrow you the money. ;) Or I could just buy one of your cars for a higher amount if that's possible.
Also could we race each track twice? I think a second race is usually more fun when everyone knows the track.
Also, is the club already in place, and who's da president?

Chris is president of the car club.

I will be able to make it Tonight ... Thats' if there is going to be any room left at the Inn this week ? ;-)
There's a very easy way to make a lot of cash if you have about 60-70k spare, involving a VW Jetta ;)
Just texted Wrighty there, with the response so far, it could be a case of having TWO ROOMS!!!!!!!!!! Yes two rooms, probably since the first week of HALO2's release. So Wrighty proposed a 'serious' racer room and a 'causal' racer room, i.e. Classic hosting and Wrighty hosting, with people able to move between rooms as such, though I'd probably be set in the 'causal' racer room ;)
Classic and Babs and a few others seem to have many modded cars and mucho casho, so probalby have a better grip of the game, whereas myself has only 3% of the career mode done.
What do you guys think?
And what is this dubious cash enhancement programme that uses a VW Jetta Babs?

Exploiting a game glitch! I'm disappointed babs. ;)
I'll be there but it looks like it's gonna be packed out, would have been great if they'd got like 16 players on at once. On second thoughts Chris does enough damage with 8.

Oh, har de har.
We will see how we get on anyway. I will be opening my room from 730 should anyone wish to join me for my "How to crash into someone and get away with it" lessons

I should be there just before 8pm, should be a laugh. We will have to make sure there is an even split between the rooms.
Are you able to lock a room to just Car Club members only?

I would have thought so, maybe one of the people who spend all their lives on the game will let us know ;)
Heh I dare say it'll get fixed, but if anyone wants it here's how.
Also note that despite trying it, I already had over 400k sitting there doing nothing.
1. Buy a VW Jetta
2. Buy all engine upgrades for it, and that means all 3 exhausts, all 3 ignitions etc.
3. Buy and equip the alternative engine (about 2,500).
4. Now equip the old engine, then sell the one you just bought. You should find it goes for about 37k, and it can be repeated ad nauseum in about 4 seconds.
I'm not normally one for hacks or exploits, but there hasn't been a single occasion yet where I've not been able to buy something or do something due to a lack of cash. It just struck me as funny. I've got about 35 cars sat in the garage atm with a value of over 2.5M and that was before even trying this. I'm just over 25% through career.

Is that your get out of jail free card ;) You are still guilty in my eyes :D j/k
at risk of sounding like a complete twit, wtf are you all talking about, is this a game or what?
edit - oh forza... hmm .. can x-link people play live people? I didnt think they could?

Might be a bit late tonight. So hopefully I will be able to get into the room.
Well what a top night of racing that was then!!! Took me an hour to get into any sort of driving ability, suppose it doesnt help when your going round the track the wrong way!!!! ;) Hope that we can get a few more nights of Forza Mayhem in the future too. All in a great laugh.
Have to admit I did enjoy driving round Nurburgring on another game, was truly great fun, just the curbs are a little more aggressive in this than in PGR.
That R-class race was amazing on the speedway track, the lead changed hands 5 or 6 times per lap, and then on the final straight, 200 yards form the line some fking APE coming the other way hit me head on with me doing 205mph.
I was fuming, but it was great fun :)
You could of taken your pic of apes in that race, there was 4 going forward, of which i was one this time!!!!!!!!; and 4 going in reverse including Wrighty, Dar, Classic and maybe Flawless.

I spent most of the night going the wrong way, though Flawless was my main target for no other reason than his name was in pink ;)

Yeah that was a great race babs and I think you would have won it as you had the draft round the final bend, great fun although I couldn't feel my right index finger afterwards as I was pressing the trigger so hard :)
Flawl3ss the pink cowboy. :D

I had a good laugh while I was on earlier in the Evening ...
Simulation damage done me big Style though spent half the time steering right to go straight ! :mryellow:
I felt a bit of a black sheep as I was the only one on there without the little [Evos] next to my name :(
What's a Guy gotta do to be accepted into this prestigious Club ;-)

Sleep with me ;)
I will add you the next time I log onto LIVE with it.
I cant believe that one race where everyone but me was going the wrong way, what is wrong with you all!!

That Sounds Fair Enough .... You've got a Deal there President Wright. :mryellow:
Sorry for crashing into some of you yesterday, I had only raced D class cars before and forgot to turn off the stability control or what it's called. Went out for a phone call and couldn't get back on for about an hour. At least I won an R class race then which improved my Elorating for about 100 points. ;)

I was only going in reverse because Wrighty had taken me out when I was a little behind Babs and ReActor, the twat ended my race :applause: !

You keep telling yourself that mate ;)

How nice of you to admit it. 8)
Almost an entire week and no other replies, well guess I'll start it up for tomorrow even though it's unlikely I will be there, but sure.
So has it been decided that we're to have an Evo Web Evo III, IV, V (tho dont remember that one), VI or VII? And do we pimp it out ourselves or keep it as a the base unit but with a naff selection of paint jobs? Or will one EvoWeb member make a few up and we just buy them off them?
How far have people gone in the game now anyhow? Think I'm about 7% in career mode and 10% in arcade.
31%ish in career, might do a bit more arcade next time I play though.
This Evo thingy, what exactly is happening here, what's de big oidea?
LemonJelly
30 May 05, 11:55
I'll be there tonight, not had many replies so it could be a quiet one.
I'm on level 15 of career I think.
Dunno if I'll be around tonight, as its the best day of the year. ;)
So it could be beers with the mates or dinner out somewhere, not sure yet. I'm sure you'll all have fun without me anyway, or at least try your best. :D
I aint sure where I will be later but if I am here I will be on
Level 11 in career mode, I am so shit
I might pop on tonight. I have lots of college work to get done but I can never be bothered with all that shite.
I'm upto 53% on career mode and on level 46. As you can see not much college work getting done :)

30 May 05, 20:12
I'll make an appearance if theres enough people, although Guild Wars is holding my attention at the moment
hmm might have to buy this (already got the *cough* version) so I can play some of you lezzas. :)
Sorry about having to run off before the big B race began Classic, I had to go back to work!!!!!!!!! So who knows if my B3 would of taken the B1's out, though round that tight Tokoyo course I think there was a fair chance I'd have been in the race anyhow.
LemonJelly
31 May 05, 09:16
Sorry I didn't make it last night. Hopefully things will be back to normal next week.

Aye, and we'd have been in the wall! :mrgreen:
Not many folk on but we had a max of 5 at one point, decent enough racing I thought. Ike was there as was a guy from my friends list and his pal. Thing was, as me and those two guys are all from Glasgow, Ike probably didn't understand a word that was goin on!
dudes what game you talking about?!??!? Forza?

Yep Forza Motorsport

Aye. :mrgreen:
Not as embarassing as last week for me, except for my terrible Evo paint job that is. Crashed into a wall once reaching for the volume control in panic after one of these judge headset assaults.
I'll try to do some races above C class until next week and not forget to turn on stability control in A and above. :shock:

Ahhh ya wuss :) The only aid you need is ABS :D It is much more fun with traction control off, well it is providing winning isn't important to you. ;)
Yeah, it was impossible for me to get on last night too, normal service to be resumed next week.

Sure it is, that's why it's usually off... but it doesn't make sense online if you have no practice with A+ Class at all. It's usually ok on the second round, but then it's already over. ;)
Sorry I missed last night, got cracking on my ML and lost track of all time. By the looks of it I wasnt the only one that wasnt there.
I will be back next Monday in one of my many shitheaps
6 days since the last post in here, I think its dead.
*Checks pulse*
Yes, its dead

Will be if there's a few bodies gonna be there.
Aye, as usual, after 8.
Brrrrrm
Not played it in about a week and a half now, need the motivation to get playing.
Probably there if I can keep me eyes open.

The only motivation the game has given me is to play other games
You're fed up with Forza already Chris?
Didn't take long :D.
Although how is it not surprising? :lol:
Being crap at it is no reason, look at me. ;)
If I wanted to paint cars and fit new bits and pieces I would work in a garage, I just cant be arsed with it
Nice races tonight, didn't do too bad this time either. I think D-B class races bring the most fun in the end.

Agreed, although I enjoy the faster cars, the D-B classes are a much better level set for a group of 8 people to race.
I hate the fast cars and enjoy driving the shitheaps, anything that does more than 150 MPH is unnatural.
Took me a while to get into it last night, probably due to my fortnight off the game after it fucked me over in single player
Yeah, it took you a few races til you were going the wrong way and smashing into people. It's like riding a bike tho....

What about that fuckwit in his GT when we were all in C Class. I smashed him good
Can't the host just limit the game to one class, or is this only in career? Should prevent us from this, and all clients go to car selection automatically, should save some time also.

Yep you can do that, and we should do that next time.
I think next time we should do the same as always (go up each class), but instead of being allowed use your garage, make everyone choose the same stock car. Makes for much better races, rather than the two people flying off in their Ferrari's and the rest chugging along in their Mugen Integra Type R or whatever.
Agreed, everyone using the same car rocks. Another option would be everyone having to drive without some assists.
Well it's Monday, it's Live Night, and possibly it's another night of Forza! So are we Forza-ing tonight or are we going to help Wrighty out and play some PGR ;) Should probably get on about 9 tonight to play something, either Forza or PGR.

Not a clue whats happening tonight so we shall wait and see
FlawlessCowboy
13 June 05, 15:53
Yeah, for some reason I've started playing Forza less and less. Career mode is getting tiring, racing 3 laps of the same tracks over and over again just to unlock a new car is getting annoying, especially when you have to race 5 tracks with 3 laps each to get the damn thing!
I would like to congratulate everyone for joining me in hating this game, a fortnight late but what can ya do

I had one last night, did your invite not reach you?
Don't tell me you're playing Links? :shock:
Twas the truth, we were playing Links.
So is it true? Have we decided to condemn another XB racer to an early grave, has Forza's time come already to join TOCA2, OUTRUN2, SEGA GT and RALLISPORT II to the tried but it aint no PGR racing grave? Will it ever get another EW racing night again?

No, I enjoy racing online with Forza. Just the career mode gets boring! Same old shit!
At least online you have to try and dodge getting hit by Chris, makes it more exciting :)
